The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has revised its journals' publication agreements to automatically include the cover sheet used by authors employed by the National Institutes of Health, for authors so employed. The change does not affect NIH grantees. (Thanks to George Porter.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
